For this lab, we had to use the lego mindstorm motor to life weights with a pulley. The terms we were working on for this lab were Newton’s second law, force=mass x acceleration, velocity, the law of conservation of energy, and power. We used the same computer program as last week which is Labview.
For the first set of trials, we had to do 4 runs keeping the same power and changing the mass each time. We were given weights of 20 grams each.
For the second set of trials, we had to do 4 runs keeping the same mass and changing the power each time. We used the 20 gram weights again.
The graphs to show the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration for the first set of trials.
Here is the graph for the second set of trials.
